Legal Question in Employment Law in Virginia
salary employees
What is the maximum amount of hours an employer can request a person to work on salary. Also, if the employee has already worked for 45 hours (on salary) and on the fifth day left early completing a total of 47 hours, can the employer dock the hours missed on the fifth day of work?

Re: salary employees
There is no such maximum for a salaried employee that I am aware of, and, (assuming that the employee has no contract that would prohibit it), I see nothing to prevent the employer from docking the employee's pay under the circumstances described.
